Exploring the evolution of Apache Iceberg, a format facilitating safe management of SQL tables by Spark and Hive together, its industry adoption, and the collaborative efforts leading to its open-source success.
Apache Iceberg is an open source high-performance format for huge data tables. Iceberg enables the use of SQL tables for big data, while making it possible for engines like Spark and Hive to safely work with the same tables, at the same time.
Iceberg was started at Netflix by Ryan Blue and Dan Weeks, and was open-sourced and donated to the Apache Software Foundation in November 2018. It has now been adopted at many other companies including Airbnb, Apple, and Lyft.
Ryan Blue joins the podcast to describe the origins of Iceberg, how it works, the problems it solves, collaborating with Apple and others to open-source it, and more.
This episode is hosted by Lee Atchison. Lee Atchison is a software architect, author, and thought leader on cloud computing and application modernization. His best-selling book, Architecting for Scale (O’Reilly Media), is an essential resource for technical teams looking to maintain high availability and manage risk in their cloud environments.
